Your State: Who Decides Your Health Care

Your state · The 2026 midterm vote

Your State

Fifty states, one page each. Find yours here.

Most of what will happen to your health in the next four years will be decided by people on your state’s ballot, or by people they appoint. Each page below shows your state’s numbers, which offices you are electing this year, any health question you will decide directly, and where to vote.



Where I stand. I am not a member of any party. This is not a paid announcement. I am not raising money, and nobody is paying me to write this. I am a surgeon with conflicts of interest like everyone in this field: I founded the companies and the charity that carry this work, and I write books about it. None of them profit from how you vote. — Robin Blackstone, MD
